SkinPen

SkinPen

SkinPen is the first FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market and is clinically proven to improve the appearance of acne scars, large pores, fine lines/wrinkles, texture and stretch marks. In as few as three minimally invasive treatments spaced 30 days apart, you can improve your appearance and step out with confidence.

How Does Microneedling work?

SkinPen creates thousands of microchannels that stimulate your body’s natural wound healing process, while minimizing cellular damage. This rejuvenates your skin from the inside out. The result is effective remodeling of scar tissue, while keeping the overall structure of the skin intact.

Types of SkinPen

Three phases to the wound-repair process:

  • Phase I: Inflammation. Piercing the skin triggers your immune system to cleanse the wound, remove debris, increase blood flow and begin to create new tissue.
  • Phase II: Proliferation. The wound is rebuilt with new granulation cells, which are part of the extracellular matrix. Additionally, a new network of blood vessels develops.
  • Phase III: Remodeling. The wound is replaced with new dermal tissues and blood vessels.

Benefits of SkinPen

  • Little Downtime: It is a perfect treatment for patients with a busy schedule.
  • Natural Recovery: SkinPen’s mechanical process is versatile and usable year-round.
  • Safe for all Skin Types: Clinically proven effective on all skin types, Fitzpatrick 1 – 6.
  • Safe and Sound: The First FDA-cleared microneedling device on the market
  • Comfortable: A light numbing cream may be used to minimize discomfort

Will microneedling work for me?

Unlike most alternatives, SkinPen has been clinically shown to be effective for women and men with skin ranging from skin-types light to very dark. Likewise, SkinPen’s mechanical process is less abrasive than harsh peels.

What to Avoid

  • Discontinue use of exfoliants such as AHA’s/BHA’S, retinol or retin-A products.
  • Discontinue blood thinners 3-5 days prior. This includes fish oil and vitamin e.
  • Refrain from sun exposure 7 days prior

SkinPen with PRP

Beautopia Skin Studio offers Microneedling with PRP (platelet-rich plasma) derived from your own blood. The plasma is spun in a centrifuge which separates the platelets, we then microneedle this back into the treated area to further heal and allow the skin to regenerate 3x more collagen production. These two treatments together can reduce the appearance of scars, wrinkles, fine lines, spots, and other skin issues. The texture of your skin can be greatly improved to appear smoother and more even without damaging the skin.

Treatment Technique for SkinPen with PRP

Prior to the microneedling section of your treatment, our RN will draw your blood for the PRP collection. The drawn blood will then be spun in our centrifuge for the separation of the platelets. It’s imperative that you drink lots of water prior to your appointment!
